The first episode of Podcast Beyond was published on June 26, 2007 on IGN.com. On an IGN message board, Justin Daly suggested calling the official IGN Playstation podcast “Podcast Beyond.”The name of the podcast originates from a now defunct Playstation 3 ad campaign called "PLAY B3YOND." The founding members of Podcast Beyond are Jeremy Dunham, Chris Roper, Greg Miller, and Jeff Haynes, who at the time were part of IGN's Playstation editorial team. Podcast Beyond was initially recorded every Monday.
